Affiliates and partners can scale your revenue with no upfront cost, but only if you can attribute sales to each one and pay fairly. Trust without data gets expensive fast.
Why this matters
You need to know which partners drive real revenue so you can reward the winners, cut the freeloaders, and verify the commissions you pay. Guessing here costs money directly.
Why most analytics tools can't tell you
Generic analytics don't tie a referral link to a payment. You'd need a separate affiliate platform, or a spreadsheet and a lot of trust.
How DataFast does it
Give each partner a unique tracking parameter (via is purpose-built for this), and DataFast attributes the resulting revenue to that partner automatically.
How to do it
- Give each affiliate a unique link:
https://yoursite.com/?via=partner-name
- Connect your payment provider and set up revenue attribution
- In your dashboard, open the Source card (or filter by
via) to see revenue per partner - Save each partner as a segment to reopen their numbers in one click
Want it programmatic? Pull partner revenue with the campaigns API to calculate commissions automatically.
